Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Yes, see a doctor: A tearleaves your stsem open to possible infection and the area is often in situations that have ambient bacteria, etc. Yes, see a doctor and follow treatment well. The circumstances of how you tore it may be important to discuss too. They'll offer the best possible pain relief as well. Call ASAP.
